Absorbing, poignant and often shockingIrish TimesClear-eyed and unsentimental ... a sobering and timely testamentRTÉ GuideA reporter once asked me what justice would look like for me, and I replied from the heart. Justice for me simply means that the next 18-year-old female and male who walk through those gates will be protected, and that no one will ever again have to deal with the physical, sexual and psychological abuses we experienced.When Karina Molloy took early retirement from the Irish army in 2012, she left behind a trailblazing career spanning over three decades. For the first woman to ever reach the Senior Non-Commissioned Officer rank, however, that trail was marked by setbacks, as she faced repeated promotional glass ceilings, routine harassment and bullying, and incidents of sexual assault. Despite the toll it took on her, Karina persevered, going on to become one of the key voices today in demanding change and accountability within the Irish army.From Donegal to the Curragh Camp to tours in Lebanon, Eritrea and Bosnia, this is her astonishing story.A searing, honest and courageous account of professional soldiering in a toxic military culture Senator Tom Clonan, retired army captain

Quali sono stati i modi in cui la poesia del secondo Novecento si e propagata e diffusa? I circuiti e le traiettorie del testo poetico sono assai meno lineari di quanto possa apparire. Morfologia a diffusione ristretta, ma di massimo prestigio culturale nel campo letterario novecentesco, la poesia e altresi un genere ad alto tasso di plasticita fruitiva e editoriale: i versi sono letti e scambiati in rivista, in plaquette, in una gamma di edizioni ispirate a criteri filologici e editoriali mutevoli. Non e un fatto di poco conto: se socializzata in modi difformi, lopera non solo muta fisionomia, ma intercetta dissimili bisogni estetici e culturali. Il libro offre una campionatura di questi processi, affiancando casi di studio e differenti approcci metodologici, che chiamano in causa le pratiche della trasmissione delle opere, della storia della letteratura, della teoria dei generi letterari e della traduzione, della sociologia della cultura. Le attivita di manipolazione dei prodotti poetici compongono un prisma sorprendentemente sfaccettato e dalle ricadute molto ampie, a dispetto di un ambito di scrittura e lettura che pure si presenta numericamente circoscritto. Questo stato dellarte sollecita una metodologia duplice: allindagine di singole vicende di circolazione della poesia, sogguardate da vicino, sia attraverso lanalisi testuale, sia grazie agli esiti della ricerca darchivio, si alternano contributi che affrontano il tema da lontano, secondo le procedure della verifica quantitativa e della sua visualizzazione grafica. Entrambe le prospettive sono ormai indispensabili, e tra loro complementari: la proposta critica del libro e soprattutto un auspicio di una loro interrelazione piu stretta nelle concrete prassi di ricerca.

Thoughtful, witty, occasionally comic, often effortlessly profound - not a conventional journalistic memoir.Sunday TimesIf you value the perspective and judgment of one who has covered, often from the frontline, the major events of the past four decades, then snap up a copy.Mail on SundayA book brimming with surprises and insight. - Nicholas Coleridge*Updated for paperback to include new postscript chapter from the author*-------------------------------------------------------------------Edward Stourton was born into a life of privilege.The son of expat parents in colonial Nigeria, Ed was sent back to Britain to be educated by Benedictine monks at Ampleforth, at the time when, it was latter revealed, the school and monastery were the setting for serial abuse cases. He then went up to Cambridge, where his life as an undergraduate gave him access to a network of future ministers, judges and newspaper editors. As a young journalist, he reported first from party conferences and picket lines and then from war zones, witnessing the events making international headlines, from Haiti to Hong Kong, before returning home to join the infighting on BBC Radio 4s Today.During this time, the Empire has given way to the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, men-only clubs have been replaced by Me Too, and instead of a choice selection of voices on a handful of radio and television channels, we have millions of voices on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok.The world has changed, and so has Ed. Brought face to face with the author of his obituary and his own inevitable mortality, Ed is prompted to reflect on the life he has led and the events that have shaped him.In Confessions, he describes this remarkable journey with candour, humour and the insight that only forty years experience of writing and reporting can provide.A searingly honest insight into the life of one of our great journalists. Hugely entertaining too. John Humphrys

This vital history shatters many myths about the Nazi genocide . . . . surprising . . . provocative . . . fizzes with ideas. Even if you think you know the subject, youll probably find something here to make you thinkSunday TimesErudite...remarkableThe ObserverOutstandingThe TelegraphAn authoritative, revelatory new history of the Holocaust, from one of the leading scholars of his generationThe Holocaust is much-discussed, much-memorialized and much-portrayed. But there are major aspects of its history that have been overlooked.Spanning the entirety of the Holocaust and across the world, this sweeping history deepens our understanding. Dan Stone reveals how the idea of industrial murder is incomplete: many were killed where they lived in the most brutal of ways. He outlines the depth of collaboration across Europe, arguing persuasively that we need to stop thinking of the Holocaust as an exclusively German project. He also considers the nature of trauma the Holocaust engendered, and why Jewish suffering has yet to be fully reckoned with. And he makes clear that the kernel to understanding Nazi thinking and action is genocidal ideology, providing a deep analysis of its origins.Drawing on decades of research, The Holocaust: An Unfinished History upends much of what we think we know about the Holocaust. Stone draws on Nazi documents, but also on diaries, post-war testimonies and even fiction, urging that, in our age of increasing nationalism and xenophobia, we must understand the true history of the Holocaust.

La guerra italo-turca e le sue conseguenze venne pubblicato in Germania dallo storico e giornalista Adolf Sommerfeld in occasione della guerra italo-turca, che nel 1912 porto lItalia alla conquista della Libia, facendola cosi entrare fra le potenze coloniali.La guerra italo-turca (nota in italiano anche come guerra di Libia, impresa di Libia o campagna di Libia e in turco come Trablusgarp Sava??, ossia Guerra di Tripolitania) fu combattuta dal Regno dItalia contro lImpero ottomano tra il 29 settembre 1911 e il 18 ottobre 1912, per conquistare le regioni nordafricane della Tripolitania e della Cirenaica.Le ambizioni coloniali spinsero lItalia a impadronirsi delle due province ottomane che nel 1934, assieme al Fezzan, avrebbero costituito la Libia dapprima come colonia italiana e in seguito come Stato indipendente. Durante il conflitto fu occupato anche il Dodecaneso nel Mar Egeo; questultimo avrebbe dovuto essere restituito ai turchi alla fine della guerra, ma rimase sotto amministrazione provvisoria da parte dellItalia fino a quando, con la firma del trattato di Losanna nel 1923, la Turchia rinuncio a ogni rivendicazione e riconobbe ufficialmente la sovranita italiana sui territori perduti nel conflitto.Traduzione di Mario Mariani.

Cinecitta?, fabbrica dei sogni, delle illusioni, dei miti, voluta fortemente da Mussolini come parte integrante del suo regime. Il libro ne ripercorre la storia, insieme a quella del cinema italiano, in una prospettiva che mette in evidenza limportanza della Hollywood sul Tevere nello sviluppo urbanistico della Capitale e nellimmaginario dei suoi abitanti.Sfilano in queste pagine dense e avvincenti divi e dive dal fascino irresistibile, artigiani abilissimi e affaristi senza scrupoli, registi dal tocco magico e artisti del makeup, politici poco lungimiranti e autentici geni della fotografia. Cinecitta? diviene la parabola di un Paese ricco di grandi talenti e occasioni sprecate, di genio e arbitrio, che il cinema italiano ha saputo esprimere con tanta efficacia.
